QuickHitRecord Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Sounds like an amazing deal -- even too good to be true. Definitely ask to see pictures and sample footage before sending your money. I believe that the Iscorama and Iscorama 36 have a 72mm filter size, so it stands to reason that it is one of those. Depending on lens build you [i]should[/i] be able to use it on 35mm or longer with that camera. You'll need an adapter from Redstan to couple it with your lenses.

Bioskop.Inc Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Iscorama details Threads (front,rear) & Outside Diameter 36 = Front 72mm, Rear 49mm & 76mm 42 = Front 82mm, Rear 62mm & 87mm 54 = Front 95mm, Rear 77mm & 100mm Buy it if it looks in good condition - a real steal for 400euros! Might be worth buying if its not & getting it repaired - you'd still be saving loads of money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bioskop.Inc Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 You'll be able to use 30mm & maybe smaller with the 54. Alan (aka Redstan) sells a lovely adaptor clamp which takes you from 77 to 62mm & it also covers/protects the rear lens (which sticks out a lot) - then all you need is a stepping ring to attach to your taking lens. Or, you could just buy some spacing rings (you'll need a few) & then a stepdown ring - your choice. Very lucky to have scored a 54 for that price, well done! But be cautious when mounting on a tripod or handheld as its very heavy & will damage the taking lens and/or camera mount because of the weight. You'll probably need a diopter to get closer. enjoy!

au8ust Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 From paladix? So lucky man! Congratulation! I'd also recommend 77mm to 62mm adapter from redstan.com as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
